not only is netaddress going to start charging at the end of July, the'ir service is tanking lately (ya-I wan't to pay for it *now*.)

So, I'm shopping for a new email address-I need consistent service and a junk mail blocker is nice.

Thoughts?

hotmail.com is good....they are trying to take over the world, but hey its microsoft. I think they have outlook compatability now.

i use them for my spam mail mainly though...i have AOL and use that mainly, but i have the BOYA plan, so hey $10 a month for use w/ my dsl...btw, doesnt your ISP give you e-mail?

Hotmail will soon become a paid product :(

All part of Bill Gates' Master Plan

If Hotmail becomes a paid service, I'll stop using it. Hear that, Billy boy?

I've been using Hotmail, Yahoo mail, and Mail.com. I've never had any serious problems with any of them.

So my new email is not as simple as my old one, but [email protected] isn't too bad.

Hmm...a new email address...It's like buying new underwear (as Garth said) "at first, it's constrictive, then it becomes a part of you"

I'm a pretty big hushmail fan. It pages you, either by e-mail or mobile, when you have a message. It used to be quite a huge pain in the ass, since it would download the entire java applet every time you logged in, but apparently, they're going to have the thing downloaded once to your local drive, speeding up the process significantly.

Very nice for people who work at snoopy companies that like to read their e-mail. It's also super fast for downloading files, for some reason. Plus, it often sneaks under the radar for non-webmail-friendly web proxies.

Yahoo mail

has spam gaurd and also has big limit and you can receive mail from any pop client as long as you don't mind one ad per week from Yahoo.
